But I was under the impression that there were a few more conservative counties in CA that issue CHLs relatively regularly. Without bribes or political contributions.

Well, there are, but I guess it would suck to live in the wrong county. In addition, since it is may issue, even the pro-issue Sheriffs are likely to yank it if you carry somewhere they do not approve (even if it is legal - almost nothing is off limits in California).

In addition, it has been studied and documented that RACE is a big factor in whether the license is issued. Equal protection clause, anyone?
